    Nah, this is the element of fighting the unexpected.
    It literally happens in every one of these crossover fights. The outsiders have all of the data and information to form a game-plan while the boxers have very little data to prepare off of.

    Yep. At least Rico knows to keep his hands up and not stand there inviting an overhand right.

    If this was Fury, the forum would be slating him for this

    Barker said there's no reason for concern for Usyk fans but I disagree Usyk looks old and terrible at this weight and much slower and more sluggish and he's given away his speed advantage

    Dude didn't earn the title shot but he showed he belongs in the ring with top heavyweights.

    The undisputed heaven champ can’t figure out a kickboxer is what’s happening

    Will AJ have to be sent in for some clean up work again?

    Rico doesn't look like he's slowing down surprisingly

    Rico had 24 fights to study, Usk had 0. And Rico is using more footwork than anyone Usyk has faced as a pro.

    58-56 Usyk or 57-57 are fine, but Todd Grisham saying "everybody must have it for Verhoeven" and Coppinger scoring him up 5-1 is...weird.
